clomid club

[cranberry987]

Hi everybody! I think I've spent the last 7 hours reading all of these posts! I am currently in my 2ww, 3 dpo and on my 3rd round of Clomid 50 mg. Doc wanted to do IUI due to a poor post coital showing an interaction between my CM and hubby's sperm, but hubby said no. He still believes it is going to happen naturally. The second post coital looked better, but still not great. He did promise me we wouldn't go more than a few more months before we would do the IUI if nothing happens between now and then. We've currently been trying for 17 months. I do have a 9 year old and a 6 year old with one miscarriage before and one in between, but no problems conceiving any of them. Which is part of the problem, because hubby believes since we already have 2 children together, there can't possibly be a problem. Just happy to have found some support here and hoping this will be my last 2ww for a good while! I also have some great friends and support on another thread on B&B as well. Good luck and to everybody!

grr, men. mine thought that eggs hung around for 7 days so when i ovulated on month he refused to dtd... i guarantee that if they were taking clomid and hormones all over the place theyd take whatever the docs threw at them!

hope this is your last cycle too

caz sounds awesome..... praying for u...

AFM~well girls I am not to happy with my FF chart today they said I ovulated on Monday which I doubt it I had - OPK's and if so I was too early with IUI I am very upset today
I understand washed sperm lives 72 hrs and I do understand as well, DH's sperm is 100% fine mobility and count, I just needed help to ovulate and take clomid 100mg 2-6 but whats the odds of tthis happening just really down today

Try to not think to hard about everything. Had your temp on friday been sightly lower, ff would have labeled that day as your O day. Sit back and let nature take over. (easier said than done, i know....) So evaluating your chart, there is a good chance that you did O on friday.... And you can do a blood test soon so hang in there.

have they explained why they want you to have iui if the motility is fine?

also, id take what ff says with a pinch of salt, your temp can be affected by so many other things.

Im started my first round of clomid today im on the 50mg days 5-7

Good luck. I started my first round last night. xxx

Thank you good luck to u also ill keep ya posted!

yeah snl I wouldn't read too much into FF. My FF is wrong this cycle. For some reason my temp spiked 1-2 days before I ovulated this time (I didn't get a positive OPK until CD17 am) but FF thinks I ovulated on CD15 even though I had negative OPKs that entire time.

@SNL, I wouldnt read too much into FF. I would go by the OPKS, they were definatly positive with a darker test line than control line, there was no mistaking with those lines on those OPK's, plus like the other girls said your temps can be affected by so many things. Good luck hun...

A warm Welcome to all of the new clomid girls!!! Good luck and baby dust to all of you lovely ladies!!!

AFM, The ended up getting me!!! I took it pretty hard that day and cried and even had an argument with DH. I am feeling better today though. So I am onto clomid cycle #2 50 mg's again, but this time I am taking them CD 2-6, so maybe I will get lucky this month. If the clomid doesnt work in a few more cycles, the next step for DH and myself is IUI, so we are going to start saving up $$ to pay for that since right now since our insurance doesnt cover it. So Wish us luck!!

Arrggghhh opk tested this am with fmu, just had to pee on something!! Negative wil hpt in a couple of days but not feeling positive. Gutted.

Good luck snl and Caz xx

I just contacted a nearby infertility office and asked how much IUI in the office would be. The lady qouted me $350.00, for one attempt, which includes the washing and insemination. I am so glad to know that it is affordable since our health insurance wont cover it, and that me and DH should be able to save up for that fairly quickly, hopefully in a few months. I have an infertility consultation scheduled for wednesday afternoon to talk about the procedure and what steps I will need to take next. I am not sure what kind of testing they will want me to have to make sure I am a good candidate for the IUI. I just hope that DH's count wont be to low for us to try IUI, I think that is one of my worst fears surrounding the whole thing....

So in conclusion if this second cycle of old fashioned with my clomid doesnt work out than at least I have a definate plan in place now. Wish us luck girls.
